Pedro Paramo

 


When you are left all alone,

You Search for your Father,

In Distant Lands

As per your Mothers Wish.


In this Journey back in time,

You Slip into the past to

Land on a Swamp of Memories  

Of The Living and Dead.


The Living murmur and complain,

The Dead Snide with the Past,

You Converse with Men, Women

And Empty Spaces Alike.


Relentless Winds Swirl Us Twigs,

Rain pelts Our puddles at each step.

Sun Vanishes like the Light of Our rooms.

The Moistly Smite Leaves Us Dry.


As you Open the Doors

Of the Ruined Ancient Earth and See

The Abandoned Houses and Things,

No One ever Came Back to take.


In their awe and Angst alike,

They tell you a Story of a Man,

Who made them Paupers and Beggars,

Man who wanted their Entire Earth.


Man who made their predicament must suffer,

Time has its Revelries of No Sensibilities.

Revenge of the Anguished Muted Rejoices

They Suffered, Alone, bearing and remembered,


When they Called Out for help,

Man Walked past their Cries,

Father Walked past to his Church.

God Walked past Watching it all.

The Dhoni Touch

Good book with collection of fond remembrances of Dhoni by people close to him. Most of them, almost all are in awe with him, they throw us a light on grounded nature of his personality and also his unique way of doing things he wants to do.


Almost all the anecdotes and remembrance are adulatory. Author has set out to unravel the pieces that make up the enigma of Dhoni but one must say he has only partially succeeded.

Recollecting, One can say, 

Dhoni had a set of things to be done in the mind very early and set out to do the same in a studious unique hardworking fashion without letting the feedbacks and Validation very much affect him.

He seems more of a humble doer even calibrates as much to celebrate the best of his achievements in an understated manner.

He has tremendous knowledge about the things that interest him and he keeps himself updated with keen observation.

He doesn't declare anywhere that he is the Leader but shows the way in such a fashion that those under him readily understand that he is a Leader and Naturally align to him without much words spoken.
